By the way, who else is planning to get Diablo III when it launches? My cousin and I are both getting it and will be more than likely playing online constantly.

But I have no interest in the collector's edition... Yeah, the Diablo skull is cool, but not worth the extra money to me, and there's nothing else interesting in there (artbooks and behind-the-scene DVDs don't interest me).

I've never ran 2 graphics cards before. Maybe if i snagged a new one I could run both my 8800 GT and whatever else I get simultaneously? I don't know a lot about that kinda stuff though.

Is your motherboard sli compatible? To run SLI both cards have to be the same.
Ah, that I'm not sure of, other than I know there are 2 PCI Express slots on the board.

if you go on Justin.TV or twitch.TV (they're the same webstiie) there are people streaming D3 ;)
@madmax Yes, but then I could ruin the game that way! I'm actually glad I missed out on the beta, so I didn't ruin the beginning of it. :)

Anyways... the game is fun and well made as expected, but you really shouldn't go in expecting "Diablo 2 but better". It's really quite different from Diablo 2, what with the complete lack of stat customizing and even skill customizing is very rudimentary (choose a skill, assign a rune which you get by leveling up). No way to level individual skills up, you just assign 1 rune per skill. It seems to me that what will differentiate your character from other peoples' is solely from the loot you pick up (your skill set-up also counts for something, there's a large variety, but eventually people will find "top tier" stuff and you can change your setup whenever you want anyways). The combat is great though, and I'm interested in seeing where the story goes.
The beta didn't give a whole lot to experiment with, what with it making the max level 13... But enough to see where the game is going. The gameplay and combat is really fun and each class does something unique though there's definitely an emphasis on AOE attacks.
I'm still picking up the game, but with very different expectations from before.

I'm not all that impressed with the collector's edition.
Yeah, me neither, it's pretty meh. I'm not a fan of collector's editions overall, but it's still pretty disappointing IMO. I mean, no huge Diablo statue? Lame.
Speaking of Diablo 3 coming out in 2-3 days and it being awesome...
Well, I'm currently playing the Torchlight 2 beta... and, to be honest, it kinda kicks Diablo 3's ass, at least as far as what the betas showcased for both games. It really shows what Diablo 3 is lacking, what with having actual stats/skill customizing rather than every character in a class being 100% identical, and the actual fighting is just as good in both games, and Torchlight 2 seems to have more of an emphasis on exploration and side-quests (while Diablo 3 seems to concentrates more on providing a great story and atmosphere... at least from what I've seen in the beta).
I know I'll love Diablo 3, I did have fun with the beta and I'm getting it on tuesday after (or maybe during) work... but I'm guessing I'll only play through it once or twice. Since there's no reason to, say, create a second demon hunter (since it would play identical to the previous one I made), I don't see this as a game with replay value. Torchlight 2, however, gives the chance to experiment with different builds for each class (like Diablo 2 did), and the core gameplay is just as solid as far as I've seen.

It's supposed to survive for a couple million clicks, that should get me through both Diablo 3 and Torchlight 2 :P

I did get a Diablo 3 t-shirt for being one of the first 25 to buy it at my Best Buy... It's too small for me to wear, but whatever :P
Post by: scott on May 15, 2012, 01:42:39 pm
Just bought the Steelseries Diablo 3 mouse, yay! Mostly because my previous mouse was a piece of crap, but still... now I have a mouse that lights up and stuff :P

I currently have the Razer Naga gaming mouse. Something about the absurd 12 button key pad on the side of it just beckoned to me. It's super comfortable and works really well with SWTOR. I wish it emitted a red glow though, since the rest of my rig is Red/Silver/Black..

My friend has a Razer Naga, it seems pretty cool. I don't play MMOs though, so having a mouse with 12 macro buttons is a bit useless to me.
I actually got the Diablo 3 mouse because, surprisingly, it was one of the cheapest not-lame wired mice at Best Buy. Just like how I got the Logitech G110 gaming keyboard because it was the cheapest wired keyboard they had.

LMAO, thats just about fitting for any release of an online game. I used to hate the day an expansion was launched on Everquest cause the next week was nothing but server downs and when it was up, the new areas were lagged to piss
It's still that way. They just updated SWTOR with the latest content patch, and the first week was hell. Not to mention they introduced a limited time only event that same day and had everyone and their brother flooding Tatooine.

So to those who bought the Collector's Edition, what do you think?
Totally worth it. It's super high quality and filled with awesome.
